Difference between STAT protein and Transcription factor

STAT protein vs. Transcription factor

Members of the signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) protein family are intracellular transcription factors that mediate many aspects of cellular immunity, proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation. In molecular biology, a transcription factor (TF) (or sequence-specific DNA-binding factor) is a protein that controls the rate of transcription of genetic information from DNA to messenger RNA, by binding to a specific DNA sequence.

Similarities between STAT protein and Transcription factor

STAT protein and Transcription factor have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Apoptosis, Cell growth, Cellular differentiation, Cytoplasm, DNA-binding domain, DNA-binding protein, Gene expression, Nuclear localization sequence, Promoter (genetics), Protein dimer.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis (from Ancient Greek ἀπόπτωσις "falling off") is a process of programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms.

Cell growth

The term cell growth is used in the contexts of biological cell development and cell division (reproduction).

Cellular differentiation

In developmental biology, cellular differentiation is the process where a cell changes from one cell type to another.

Cytoplasm

In cell biology, the cytoplasm is the material within a living cell, excluding the cell nucleus.

DNA-binding domain

A DNA-binding domain (DBD) is an independently folded protein domain that contains at least one structural motif that recognizes double- or single-stranded DNA.

DNA-binding protein

DNA-binding proteins are proteins that have DNA-binding domains and thus have a specific or general affinity for single- or double-stranded DNA.

Gene expression

Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product.

Nuclear localization sequence

A nuclear localization signal or sequence (NLS) is an amino acid sequence that 'tags' a protein for import into the cell nucleus by nuclear transport.

Promoter (genetics)

In genetics, a promoter is a region of DNA that initiates transcription of a particular gene.

Protein dimer

In biochemistry, a protein dimer is a macromolecular complex formed by two protein monomers, or single proteins, which are usually non-covalently bound.
